[Senator Clay Davis]

I mean I don't wanna go into a long diatribe to prove the NBA is growing it's talent pool, but using the lack of competitive balance, when we're talking about a Patriots team in it's 7th Super Bowl since 2001, is pretty laughable. The NBA talent pool is growing because of Europe, nevermind once we start seeing the impact of the growth of the game in Asia. The NBA has the entire world to draw talent from, the NFL obviously has a whopping two countries with decent talent pools.

And again, why kill yourself physically and set yourself up for brain damage to make $5 million a year in the NFL, when you can be cut anytime and not get your contract....when you can be an NBA benchwarmer for $10 million+ a year, fully guaranteed? That is also going to cut into the NFL's future talent pool, to the benefit of the NBA. If you could choose which sport to invest in, when considering long term growth potential, you'd be a bit of a fool to choose the NFL.

And eliminating the running game would make the average NFL game 4 hours at a minimum, so that's a non-starter. Anything that makes the game longer is a non-starter.
